US dollars, before tax. The big number is hosting only: the cheapest way to pay for 1 year from the prices I saw in each cart: the first term, then the renewal price. Extras I saw pre-checked or required in a cart (a domain renewal, a backup) are shown under each plan. Share this result: just copy the page link. Some links are affiliate links and never cost you more.

Questions
How is the cost calculated?
For each plan I take every price I saw in the real cart (each billing term and any coupon that is live today) and keep the cheapest way to pay for the period you picked: the first term, then the renewal price for the remaining months. Extras that were pre-checked or required in the cart are shown under each plan as a second total.
Why is the cheapest monthly price not always the cheapest total?
Because the low price only lasts for the first term. After that you pay the renewal price, which is often 2 to 5 times higher. Over several years the renewal matters more than the first price.
Are taxes and domains included?
No. Prices are in US dollars before tax. A domain is only included when the host includes it in the plan; check each host page for the domain cost.
How often are prices checked?
Every price shows the date I last checked it in the cart. Hosts change offers often, so always check the final total before you pay.
